Good Decisions Are Inconvenient Decisions

We tend to think that making the "right" decision should feel good—clear, affirming, maybe even a little empowering. But the truth is, good decisions are often inconvenient. They interrupt our comfort, require effort, and ask us to tolerate discomfort in the service of something more meaningful. Whether it's setting a boundary, committing to therapy, or choosing rest over productivity, the choices that move us forward rarely come wrapped in ease. But that doesn’t mean they’re wrong—it usually means they matter.

The Healing Power of Rest And Doing Less: Slowing Down is Essential for Trauma Recovery

When it comes to healing from trauma, many people feel an overwhelming urge to “fix” themselves and get through it. The initial reaction is often to do more—to read every book, attend every workshop, and analyze every moment of their past in an effort to move beyond it. While education and active self-reflection have their place in making sense of what happened, one of the most underrated aspects of healing is the exact opposite: resting, doing less, and slowing down.

Is It Midlife Crisis or You’re Just Done Pretending?

You might find yourself questioning your career, your relationships, your routines.

Why Trying to Feel Better Can Feel Worse

Each time we turn away from what we’re feeling, we reinforce the belief that certain emotions are dangerous, shameful, or intolerable. That avoidance becomes our nervous system’s go-to strategy, and over time, it makes the inner world feel more hostile than it really is. You start to feel anxious about your anxiety. Sad about your sadness. Disappointed in your disappointment. And then you wonder why you feel stuck.

6 Steps to Mindfully Disrupt Autopilot Mode - A Daily Practice

Most of us move through our days on autopilot more than we realize — thinking the same thoughts, reacting the same ways, and repeating patterns without even noticing. While this can help us get through routine tasks, it also means we can easily become entangled in our thoughts, identifying with them as truth. The problem is, left unchecked, autopilot keeps us stuck in familiar habits, even when they’re not serving us. Disrupting this automatic mode isn’t something that happens by accident; it requires intentional practice.

Just Because You’re in Therapy Doesn’t Mean You Have to Change

Therapy isn't about flipping our lives upside down. It's about exploring, getting curious, and creating the conditions where real change might happen — if and when we're ready. It's about understanding our motivations, desires, and our real selves. Change threatens what we know, what we've built, what feels familiar — even if what we know isn't authentic or comfortable. Our adaptations and defenses have been carefully crafted and cemented over a lifetime. They're not flaws. They're ingenious survival strategies. They've kept us safe, functional, and adaptive (even when it doesn't feel that way).

Learning new things—especially things we’re not already good at—activates different parts of the brain, strengthens neural pathways, and even promotes the growth of new ones. Yep, neuroplasticity is real, and it means our brains are far more adaptable than we give them credit for.

It's Not What You Say, It's What You Do: The Importance of Aligning Words With Actions

Words hold a lot of power. They can comfort, inspire, and shape our narratives. But what often matters way more that words, are our actions - things we actually do to give weight to our words. Think about how often people try to convince others (or even themselves) of a truth through words alone. “I love you.” “I care about my health.” “I want to change.” These are powerful statements, but what happens when the actions that follow don’t match? Words can create a story, but actions build the reality.

De-Centering What No Longer Serves You: Reclaiming Your Life from Unconscious Attachments

De-centering is the process of recognizing what we have placed at the core of our lives—and deciding whether it is truly serving us. It’s not always something we consciously choose, yet each of us orbits around a central theme, belief, or pursuit that dictates how we make decisions, measure our worth, and structure our days. Often, this center is something we assume will fill the gap and bring us what we most long for—a relationship, success, financial security, approval, personal growth—but in reality, it can become an invisible force that keeps us trapped in a cycle of striving, waiting, or self-judgment.
